Afishionados,

So, I’m watching Joel Schumacher’s The Phantom of the Opera based upon the musical of the same name when I come to a scene about the Phantom’s backstory:

Dang! I never knew that the Phantom was, like, the friggin Prowler!

Afishionados,

I’m in the last stretch of the quarter, which happens to involve a portfolio show on June 4th. I’m in overdrive trying to wrap up several projects so the Fish is going to have to wait. In the meantime, I have appointed a temporary replacement to keep everyone company. He’s a robot, but he’s shy. He also doesn’t have a name. Suggestions welcome.

Catch you on the flipside.

A.C.

Afishionados,

Sure, it looks like your average, boring out-of-season bargain/clearance soap but don’t be fooled…

…Because it is clearly fun soap.

Afishionados,

A very rare photograph of Joey Polanski and his homunculus hot on the trail during a PSI investigation.

Afishionados,

One of my last design classes is mind-numbingly excruciating because of the folks in it. A niche group of women who can’t design anything that isn’t pink has this quirk where they substitute cutesy, childish phrases for cuss words. I don’t participate in their insipid conversations, but because I [unfortunately] sit behind them, I frequently overhear them. They often discuss the trite and predictable Twilight saga that has replaced Harry Potter in the minds of teenage girls everywhere. At least Harry Potter has interesting characters and a good story. Anyway, a typical exchange usually consists of something like this:

“Oh, my GOD, don’t you think that Edward is, like, TOTALLY cute?

“He’s okay, but I picture him cuter in the book than in the movie.”

“Shut the front door! You did not just say that!”

I take a very pro-swearing stance and I am always baffled when people are offended by it, but not offended when ‘kid phrases’ are used instead. Obvously, the meaning is the same, so why not just fucking say the REAL phrase? I remember as a kid giving my mom the ‘4th finger’ once. And I got my ass handed to me because the intent was the same as giving her the middle finger. To me, substituting these lame phrases for swear words is the same thing.

I’ve read that swearing is a sign on unintelligence, but I wholeheartedly disagree. You sound much more retarded by saying “Shut the front door” or “Cheese and Rice” instead of the real deal. How can people like that be taken seriously?

What do you fuckers think?

Afishionados,

Well, it was an exciting weekend for the family. Jensen got his haircut done up really nice. His mom and I weren’t sure if he should get an afro at his age, but in the end, he persuaded us LOL!.

We also got him a new suit and tie for when he goes to church and for his school photos!. Doesn’t it look nice? I really like it. His first communion is coming up and we’ll be posting photos soon!!!! LOL!!! Some kids were teasing him on Thursday and he cried and went to the principal’s office for hitting them. His mom and I were called in to take care of it and I think we nipped it in the bud. Kids can be so cruel these days. At least Jensen’s grades haven’t been slipping since we got him that tutor.

Speaking of Jensen, he’s been a big help with my garden lately. He helps fertilize it and make sure the plants grow really well. Good thing he doesn’t weed it! LOL!!!

Well, I don’t know what else to say so here is a photo of our new cat. We got a good deal on it and named him Sniffles.
